Was awakened this morning on Brookview's third attempt at getting a message to me. They called on the land phone, (6 feet from my head)- then my cell phone (1 foot away) where they left a message and then again on the land phone which Greg answered. He finally got me awake with the second hit on the arm. Jon has been coughing the last few days and last night added a fever of 102. Oxygen level down in the 80s again so they sent him to the hospital just down the road. By the time I got there they had just admitted him. Blood had been drawn and chest x-rays taken. Found he has an itchy reaction to levaquin, an antibiotic, which was being given in addition to rocephin. Both medications are new to me although Barb seemed to think she recognized levaquin. They had an order in for a new medication when I was there at 5:45. Bless their hearts-they were going to call and give me an update around 8:30 a.m.
Went back around 2 this afternoon and his chest x-ray came back negative, his urinalysis showed a urinary tract infection and his sputum culture won't be read until sometime tomorrow. He already had a special bed and he was trying to nap. His fever still is in the 100-101 range. Stopped at Brookview to pick up his Camelbak water bag since his cleaning supplies arrived in the mail today. It has never been thoroughly cleaned since we got it. We were under the impression that that would probably be okay for the bag as long as it was constantly being filled with fresh water but the hose is getting a little yucky looking.
We are finally getting balmy weather--surpassed the predicted high of 30 by 2 degrees! Hope you're enjoying your winter so far. Thanks for looking in....
